If you are interested in sponsoring the Summit please completely read the process outlined on the Become A Sponsor page. As you review the Sponsorship Prospectus please note that we have new Add-On Sponsorship opportunities included towards the end of the document. After you've fully reviewed the prospectus mark you calendars for Monday, June 17 - the date when we will post the link to the Hong Kong Sponsorship Agreement and begin receiving Summit sponsors on a first come, first serve basis, determined by the time stamp on signed Echosign agreements received. This process will open June 17, 2013 at 6:00pm CDT / 23:00 UTC -- which is Tuesday, June 18 at 7:00am HKT We're expecting 4000-5000 people to attend the Summit, so for the first time we're offering two types of registration passes. The General Session & Expo pass is valid for Tuesday and Wednesday only, and will get you into the General Session running all day (including Keynotes), access to the Expo Hall, lunch and snacks. The Full Access Pass is valid Tuesday through Friday, and will get you into the General Session, Expo Hall, lunch and snacks, plus all of the breakout sessions, design summit sessions, workshops and the Summit bag/apparel giveaways.
